A Tribute

Today I was sent a video that was a tribute to soldiers. It was beautiful and touched my heart. I have decided to put some videos here that regular people have made and posted as their tribute to soldiers.

In searching for videos that paid tribute to soldiers, I found many. As a matter of fact, I found so many that I can not include all of them here.

There are many famous people who have made tribute to soldiers that I thought it right to provide videos that are not seen everyday. These are the ones that only those in search of them seem to find.

These people have poured their hearts in to making these songs and videos and it is only right that they should be shared.

I did include a budweiser commercial that thanks our soldiers, as well as the video telling you how you can thank a soldier walking past you.

I have left the descriptions from the videos as they were posted since I can not convey what they do from just viewing the videos.

I hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed finding and listening to them.

Since I am not talented enough to make a song and have no idea how to do videos, this is my tribute to our soldiers.

Soldiers, Thank you for my freedom! I salute you, each and every one!

(note: I have noticed that some videos do not load the first time, for me anyway, but they usually load if you reload them. It seems to be happening with a lot of videos today. This could just be my computer, but I wanted to put a note just in case.)

The video description did not tell me much information except what you see below.

There was no description with this video, but it is certainly woth listening to.

Description from the video:

There are few actions more patriotic and moving than attending a funeral for one of America's fallen service men and women. There are few organizations which personify patriotism and respect for our service men and women more than The Patriot Guard. Never again will a fallen service member come home to the sound of silence from an ungrateful nation thanks to the Patriot Guard…what a profound honor to be a small part of this magnificent process. I rode my first mission in 2006 and knew immediately this is an organization I wanted to be a part of. As a musician, I felt a calling to write words and music to capture the essence of The Patriot Guard. This Ballad commemorates our service men and women we ride for and the dedicated Riders of the Patriot Guard. MOGVET

I commend Budweiser for making this commercial to thank our soldiers.

Description from video:

Daniel Smith has written a song to express appreciation for our U.S. Armed Forces active and retired. The Thank You Foundation has adopted it as its theme song for its "Mission of Appreciation". It is a wonderful tribute and "Thank You" to those who have served and are serving today.

When you consider the service and sacrifice of the 26 million plus veterans of this great country, we all should be willing to thank a WWII Veteran one more time, help change the name of the "Forgotten War" and thank those who served in Korea, let a Viet-Nam Veteran hear the words "Thank You" for perhaps the first time, and let the men and women who wear the uniform today know that their service and sacrifice is appreciated.

Our troops fight, so that we don't have to. Remember them!

This songs credit simply said "to our soldiers".

I can not say it any better than that.
